Peaceful borders are generally a force for good, but also have unintended effects and consequences. This provocative and topical book argues that peace may actually facilitate illicit cross-border activities carried out by non- state criminal groups, including drug trafficking, arms trafficking, human trafficking and smuggling, and terrorism.
The exploration focuses on the prerequisites for establishing Nuclear Weapons Free Zones (NWFZs), analyzing the political, social, and security factors that contribute to their formation. It delves into case studies and international relations, highlighting the challenges and opportunities involved in creating these zones to promote global peace and security. The book offers insights into how NWFZs can serve as effective mechanisms for nuclear disarmament and regional stability.
